Do you like knitting? Are you a keen knitter? How about doing it from English patterns (Strickmuster)? You don’t have to go to Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex in England, or London or Manchester to get them.  There are plenty available, free of charge, online. Next time someone sees you knitting and asks you, “Was strickst Du da?”, then you can say, “Ein Pulli; auf Englisch!” That’ll be enough to get a good conversation going! You might even think of attending a one-week knitting course in England, where everything would speak English and you’d make lots for friends who shared your hobby. How to go about it? Where does it take place? How much is it? Questions like this you can ask your English teacher, who would be sure to help you out with booking forms etc.
